What's on your shopping list?

Recommended Posts

My badly dyslexic husband once sent me shopping with a list

 

Pasder - got that ok

 

Musherooms - easy. check!

 

Tuner - yup, ok

 

Sibbob

 

Sib-what? hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

Returned home without the sibbob, stuck the list under hubby's nose

 

'what does that say???'

 

he honestly took a quick glance and said........

 

 

'spagetti bolognaise sauce'

booberlies - blueberries

purple tea - blackcurrant squash

podge - porridge oats

WUL - washing up liquid

fluffs - dusters

stinky cheese - any variety of soft French cheese (usually added to list by DS1)

 

 

 

When the kids were little I used to write them a list each to keep them busy in the supermarket. Before they could read I would draw them pictures of the shopping I wanted them to find. Those lists were quite unique!

Brilliant idea for the little ones. I did my own I Spy version when we went on holidays. The book has been kept. I added a dinosaur because I thought that would get them looking. And blow me down they saw one - a dinosaur slide in a pub garden as we drove along. Huh! A bit toooooo quick for my liking!

 

Anyone shortened the blueberries yet? :wink: I rather like podge!

No, Booberlies are not up for shortening! That one started because my niece had trouble pronouncing it properly; because of her we also put gravely on our dinner and wear sippelers in the house when our feet are cold. She now pronounces all her words beautifully and is very embarrassed that we keep using her baby words - but they are lovely.
